Sad story by the way. I agree: the make of the car is irrelevant, but news reporters specify which make because they know it will evoke an emotional response from their audience. It's a cheap and easy way to glamorize their horrible story. It automatically puts a picture into the minds of those watching. Unfortunately, it tarnishes the image of our beloved Mustang. Hope this fella wasn't a TMS poster. Any wrecks posted lately? Hate to think this reckless numbskull was lurking on this board...

Prolly cause they were quoting the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Dept. Cmdr. Dave Egeler. He mentions the mustang so for the reporter to mention it is legit in my eyes.
Such a sad story.
Seems like kids are getting killed more often thease days.
My daughter has had 5 school mates die since last summer.
I had 1 the entire time I was in high school.

I'll bet there was no playstation when you were in high school. I may get flamed here, but there are no consequences for wrecking a car on a video game, and more and more kids play them these days. Learned behavior becomes habit becomes reaction without thought of consequences when in a adrenaline charged situation. I may be full of it, but it would make for an interesting study.
I don't know what I'd feel if it were one of my kids that was killed. I can't imagine the sorrow the family must be feeling. My heart and prayers go out to them.

Hmm....when I was a kid all we did was drop anvils on each other and get really great products from ACME...you know...rocket skates and portable holes...stuff like that.
Kidding....as a father of four my heart breaks for these kids.

This is a tragedy! Being a bicycle advocate myself, I just hope people in this forum remind themselves that people on bicycles are on the road whether it is seasoned rider like myself or a 10 yr old kid. Drive safe!
